Chapter 9
_Mystery POV_
"I can't believe it. That superhero, Robin, just . . . How is it possible?"
The scientist couldn't believe what he had seen. How could a powerless superhero obviously have powers? Unless . . .
"His hair is black like Experiment 417's. I wonder if he's . . . ."
But the scientist wasn't sure. How could he REALLY know if under that mask, was Experiment 417? Exactly. He couldn't.
But the boy had proven that even though everyone thought he had no powers, he obviously did. If he had been hiding the fact that he had powers, then what else was he hiding?
The scientist smirked.
He would just have to find out, now wouldn't he?
_Robin's/Dick's Subconscious_
The team opened their eyes to see themselves in a dark room with a single computer on a very large desk. M'gann wasn't surprised. Since Robin was a hacker, it was appropriate that a computer was there.
But they weren't the only ones there.
I will NOT allow my human's mind to be invaded by some tights-wearing children!
They sighed. Shadow really hated them, didn't she?
"We have to do this, Shadow. Robin's life is in danger. Batman said this is what we had to do to save him," Aqualad said.
. . . You can truly save my human from this sleep?
Aqualad nodded. "Yes."
. . . Fine. But if ANYTHING happens to him, I cannot quarantee your safety.
Shivers down their spines. They didn't know who was more protective (*cough* terrifying *cough*). Batman or Shadow.
. . . . . . Batman. Definitely.
"Noted," Aqualad said, already imagining what Batman and Shadow would to him and his team.
And those images sent more shivers down his spine.
Shadow left after that, sharpening her claws. Oh yes, she would make sure they paid if anything happen to Dick. So would Batman.
But that doesn't mean that it would take away the pain of losing him.
Nothing could ever take that away.
Nothing.
In Robin's mind, M'gann had pulled out the chair at the desk and turned on the computer. Everything was going smoothly till it asked for a password.
M'gann thought a minute. Then she typed Dick Grayson.
"Access denied," the computer announced.
M'gann bit her lip. Maybe a pet's name? She typed Shadow.
"Access denied."
M'gann thought harder. What would no one know except himself? What would he use that no one would ever think of? Oh! What about Bruce Wayne? M'gann typed that with the same result.
"Access denied."
Now M'gann was slightly panicking. She only had one more try and then the computer would lock her out. Why did Robin have to be so paranoid? Why couldn't his password be "password"? Or "abc123"? M'gann groaned. This was hopeless! She couldn't get into his subconscious which meant he would stay in his coma and eventually die! And that meant that she would never be able to ask him about those scientists, Experiment 417, the scientist at the school and-!
Wait.
Hadn't she seen that scientist somewhere before?
Yes! When Young Justice had been on that mission. But why would he set a school on fire and then stay? Wouldn't that draw attention to himself? Then Batman and Robin would have shown up and-!
A puzzle piece fell into place in her mind.
The traps the scientist had sent.
Shadow's reaction to the scientists.
Why the scientist wanted Batman and Robin to come to the burning school.
Experiment 417.
Didn't Alfred say that Dick had been at a lab with Shadow? Which would mean that he was somehow connected to Experiment 417. M'gann glanced down at the keyboard. Did she dare? What if she was wrong? What if this wasn't the password? M'gann bit her abused lip. What did she have to lose?
Answers.
A friend.
A teammate.
Robin.
M'gann breathed shakily. Slowly, she typed E-X-P-E-R-I-M-E-N-T-4-1-7. Her finger shook over the enter button. Was she sure of this? She took a deep breath. Yes, she was. So, she pushed the enter button and held her breath as she waited for the computer to process the word she had typed in.
" . . . Access granted."
The team breathed in relief. They were in.
But would they be able to stand what they would soon see?
A/N- I hope you guys enjoyed this longer chapter! Please review!
